Public Defender of Georgia
Nino Lomjaria
Special Representative of the Prime Minister for Relations with Russia
Zurab Abashidze
Former President of Georgia
Giorgi Margvelashvili
Giorgi Vashadze: I did not come out of prison driven by revenge; I came out with one goal only: our generation has a mission to lead this country to safety, address rising prices and unemployment, bring emigrants back home, and improve the catastrophic demographic situation
Ani Nadareishvili: So far, those brought in are so-called injured parties borrowed from other court cases, and they have no connection to Bacho’s case; Bacho Akhalaia is detained in connection with intensive internet usage
Shalva Papuashvili - We see an aggressive campaign, they want to put up posters in the European Parliament and say that the attackers on the presidential palace are heroes - the violence of October 4 is entirely the political responsibility of Brussels
Opposition Alliance - All persons arrested on October 4 are political prisoners and the court decision only aggravates the regime's responsibility
Court sentences Paata Burchuladze, Murtaz Zodelava, Irakli Nadiradze, Lasha Beridze and Paata Manjgaladze to 7 years in prison each, Tornike Mchedlishvili, Nika Gventsadze, Irakli Chkhvirkia to 5 years each, and Irakli Shaishmelashvili to 2 years in prison in connection with October 4 case
Tazo Datunashvili: I am ashamed of everyone who thinks politics means refusing to do anything that could, even for one minute or one hour, prevent children from ending up in wheelchairs or extend their lives; as for Maka Botchorishvili’s statements, this is what evil looks like
Lasha Beridze: If I had wanted to seize the Presidential Palace, I would not have started storming the building together with a world-famous opera singer over 70 years old
Public Defender - If there are signs of a crime, let's not approach it with a pharmacy scale, let's approach it with the principle of justice - We did not find sufficient evidence to support the article in the Paata Manjgaladze case
Paata Manjgaladze on the October 4 case: In none of my statements did I consider myself an organizer. If I had known, I would not have gone despite the request - I believed that this so-called “peaceful overthrow” was a kind of marketing trick
Public Defender visits Paata Manjgaladze, Lasha Beridze, and Irakli Nadiradze in Gldani prison
Public Defender files amicus curiae brief regarding Paata Manjgaladze case
Murtaz Zodelava - Political tragedy and drama should not turn into a drama of 60 people and their families, if the entire nation is going to unite, then take these 60 people too
Paata Manjgaladze in court - Why have I been here for 6 months, what did I do, why should I be here, and how many years should I be imprisoned for something I didn't do?
Judge expels Eka Kherkheulidze from the courtroom in the trial of politicians accused in the October 4 case
Irakli Abesadze on the October 4 case - A lawyer conducted an examination of the metal and everything is clear from that - the expert came, looked at the palace fence and said, " Oh, must should be broken, not cut" - we can say that the conclusion is false
Irakli Nadiradze to expert witness - Neither the lawyers, nor we, nor perhaps this society, believe that the fence of the presidential palace, which was supposed to be of exceptional strength, could be demolished by 4 people in 4 seconds
Murtaz Zodelava: If I raised my hand or said more than necessary, I have been charged for that, but Article 225 was artificially added; everyone knows I am not a bandit!
Lasha Beridze questions injured officer about beating during October 4 events
